Interesting that not one person voted for Split>Second AND Blur.

Is there a specific cut off date when this ends?

Also, one more thing, I thought we were supposed to list games we were genuinely interested in and would buy? Why does Candy have SMG2 since he doesn't have a Wii? (I had this in my list originally before submission but removed cos I had no intention of buying)

I say the same. I listed games I will play. There are a few people listing wii games they dont have a system for.

A couple of other things for when not busy, can the scores be put next to the games in our lists that have been reviewed too? Some of us don't know whats been reviewed.

How come some people have an odd number of reviews next to their name? (Pat, Mady, Froggy) Were their averages taken from more than 3?

I have a Wii and Mario is staying on my list.

I wasnt doubting ambrose at all. Just others I know have been vocal about not liking wii. It would be akin to me listing starcraft or halo reach.

Still, I wont push for them to be changed. Just highly dubious that people are interested in some titles...

They are just insecure about their choices and needed something to boost them up.

And tomby, reviews from 5 sources for one game. That would make sense wouldnt it now.

t0mby · Post by **t0mby** » 25 Mar 2010 01:41 pm

So if a game has 5 sources it's going to have an average from 5 reviews? I don't understand.

Pat V3.14 · Post by **Pat V3.14** » 25 Mar 2010 01:45 pm

Yes. Average score is from a minimum of three reviews. If it gets four or five then its the average of all reviews.

pilonv1 · Post by **pilonv1** » 25 Mar 2010 01:54 pm

Pat's correct. I'll be adding the review scores later, just wanted to get something up

I haven't listed people's backup games, because Candy and some others didn't send them.

I put games I was interested in, not necessarily buying. I was pretty hyped for Metro & Toy Soldiers but it sounds like something I'll try at a later date.

I dont mind people having games they may not buy. I think of them as the control list.

re: odd review scores, some games have 3-5 reviews as Pat has said. I think someone has a game with only one review so far (Misly with Pokemon I think...).

Ok sweet as.

In my mind Candy loses automatically given his hate for the Wii as a console and choosing SMG2.

Pilon looking at my list I noticed you left one out, I also noticed that I'd actually sent you 11. Is there a chance I can cull a different one for the one that you culled? I'll keep FFXIII cos it's already out, but I'd like to swap APB with Vanquish if that's cool. i.e. relegate APB to the bench.

Unless everyone is against me changing.

(Vanquish was my number 7 pick whereas APB was number 11).

No problem here, neither game is out.

pilonv1 · Post by **pilonv1** » 25 Mar 2010 04:50 pm

That's fine. I didn't post anyones reserves so I'll edit it in.

Despite my issues with Wii (which are primarily price-related), I'm not going to be silly and bet against a new Mario game.

And in violation of the challenge rules, its not exactly a game you are interested in though, is it.

Candy Arse · Post by **Candy Arse** » 25 Mar 2010 08:07 pm

If and when I buy a Wii it's more than likely the first game I'd buy with it. I'm very interested in Tatsunoko vs Capcom and I don't own a Wii.

The one thing I find amusing is seeing 4 picks for Alan Wake, and 2 for The Outsider. Both games I picked in Pimp Challenge 1. The last two games awaiting reviews...

pilonv1 · Post by **pilonv1** » 25 Mar 2010 11:07 pm

I will admit I laughed when I saw the Outsider twice. I dont think it will ever get released

Will have to cop that.

I reserve the right to pimp City of Metronome if it ever sees the light of day.

If it does I will take its average over the combined averages of my top five scoring games.
